A method for measuring the peak power of a single microwave pulse in an oversized circular waveguide is presented. This measurement technique uses a new circular waveguide calorimeter to measure the total energy of the microwave pulse. The peak power is determined from the total energy and by measuring the pulse shape with a fast diode detector connected to a circular waveguide directional coupler. Measurements have been made at 3.15 GHz for power levels up to 200 MW. Pulse widths were varied between 5 and 50 ns giving pulse energies between 1 and 10 J.
